Works well, after a small learning curve.

I came from an environment that was all Windows except for a iPads and iPhones. My first thoughts when using the Macbook was that it was ok for surfing the web but not really a business type device like a lot of other users. After doing some research though I am able to do everything on the Macbook that I was able to in my old environment on a Windows laptop.

As far as software goes, it's like any other Apple computer you'll use. Nothing new there. Apple has added some gestures over the years but I don't use many of those. Just some simple swipe functions. Lots of people rave about the Apple hardware and how pretty it is. It's aluminum, nothing fancy there. Where this thing really shines is the form factor. Not the unibody but the thickness. It's still the best ultrabook on the market to date with its thickness, computing power, and battery life. One of the other major things that sets this apart from other ultrabooks is the trackpad. Not something as extensive as the functionality, but just the tracking of it. Other ones constantly require driver updates and even then they are buggy at best. One thing Apple does, and the Air is no exception, is to come out with revolutionary devices. Where they fall short is continued innovation in that category. Everything they've come out with (iPad, iPod, iPhone, iMac, MacBook Air) were all best in their class for first gens. The Air is no exception, it's the best in its category.
